    Re: Games you wont trade in/sell no matter what.

    Pretty much all my games I keep, with the exception of yearly sports titles. Although I do still have MLB the Show 06 for the PS2 cause it was the last version for that sytem I bought.

    But I have somewhere in the neighborhood of;
    52 PS1 games
    56 PS2 games
    And about 25 PS3 games.

    There all basically triple A titles that were/are must haves for each system. A few examples would be;
    PS1, Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania SOTN, Legacy of Kain, MGS.
    PS2, Shadow of the Collosus, MGS2, MGS3, GTA San Andreas.
    PS3, Uncharted, KZ2, MGS 4, Bioshock.

    I guess you could call me a bit of a game "collector".

          Good topic!

          A distinction needs to made here - Some of my games have gained collector's value even as used titles, and that's not quite the same as selling a game normally because I think I won't play it anymore.

          That said....(and yes, I still own all of these though I never hook most of the systems up)

          NES:
          Tecmo Super Bowl
          Super Mario Bros. 3

          SNES:
          Super Mario World
          Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

          N64:
          Super Mario 64
          Legend of Zelda: OoT & Majora's Mask

          PS1:
          Final Fantasy VII - IX
          Chrono Cross
          Gran Turismo II
          Metal Gear Solid

          PS2 (run for cover, LOL):
          Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII
          Xenosaga Episodes I - III
          Star Ocean: Til The End of Time
          Kingdom Hearts I - II
          Metal Gear Solid II - III
          Dragon Quest VIII
          MVP Baseball 2005
          MVP NCAA Baseball 2006 (unless I ever find 2007)
          NCAA Football 2007
          MLB '06 The Show
          MLB Power Pros
          ESPN NFL 2k5
          Guitar Hero I, II & Rock the 80's (I & II with Guitars)
          Gran Turismo IV

          ...Was that everything? Whew. Moving on....

          PS3:
          All-Pro Football 2K8
          Uncharted 2
          Demon's Souls (because I'll never beat it...LOL)
          Metal Gear Solid IV
          Pinball HOF: Williams Collection
          Star Ocean: Last Hope International
          Valkyria Chronicles
          Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds
          College Hoops 2k8

          PC (granted, used PC games sell for dirt anyway, but these are the ones I wouldn't consider giving up):
          Starcraft I & II (yes, already... )
          Warcraft III + Frozen Throne
          SimCity 3000 & 4
          High Heat Baseball 2004
          Madden '08 (unless it comes back to PC, which it shows no signs of doing)
          The Orange Box

          And that's it. A bit of analysis here:

          - RPG's....I don't sell them, hardly ever. I have not made a decision on FFXIII yet, but it may be the first FF I've owned that I may consider selling.

          - Sports game choice....excluding Tecmo Super Bowl which is a pure nostalgia keeper, the sports games I chose are representative of their respective series, and I like to keep one of each around, at least. Note that MLB The Show is not represented on PS3 because I trade that one toward the new one each year. When PS3 goes obsolete I'll probably keep a version of it just like PS2.

          - Unique games: This is where Pinball HOF, Demon's Souls, Power Pros and a few others come in. Little Big Planet would fit too, were it not for its sequel coming out which will basically obsolete the original by allowing all LBP1 content to be played.

          Edit: Expect me to be updating this post as I run across more keepers - I've already noticed HSG:OOB and College Hoops 2k8...

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

              Re: Games you wont trade in/sell no matter what.

              APF 2K8
              CHoops 2K8
              GTA IV
              NFL 2K5

              The main reason I won't trade/sell these games is because trading rules in Winnipeg are completely dumb now. We can only trade 1 game towards a game to purchase. No 2 for 1 deals or any of that.

              But GTA IV has had value for awhile and I've never thought about trading it. Mainly because I waited years for that game to come out, it was my most hyped game ever (I was literally counting down the days it came out about 2-3 months before it came out) and I have both DLC episodes.

              APF, CHoops and 2K5 are classics and games I usually go back to play every now and then so even though they have no value, I still couldn't really trade them because I know eventually I'd want to play them again. Plus they're almost like collector's items because there hasn't been a new version of any of those games since.

              Batman: Arkham Asylum might get put on here but I'm not sure since I might have to end up trading it in towards NHL, Madden, or NBA 2K11 because money is tight right now. I'd rather not trade it because I'm a Batman fan and this was one of my favorite games ever but I get desperate for my new sports games fix.

                    Re: Games you wont trade in/sell no matter what.

                    Halo 1, 2, 3 and ODST.

                    I'll probably never get rid of Red Dead Redemption.

                    That's about it.

                      I am not going to list every game because some are because they would be worth like $1.

                      GTA IV
                      Choops 2k8
                      Oblivion
                      Red Dead Redemption
                      Bad Company 2
                      Saints Row 1 or 2

                        Re: Games you wont trade in/sell no matter what.

                        Halo 1
                        Left 4 Dead 1 and 2
                        Mario Kart 64

                        Can't think of anything else that I have this generation and still play. Most shooters (aside from Halo 1) I would trade in because I end up playing the newer version. Say if BF3 came out, I would most likely never play BC2 again.

                          Basically, timeless classics. There's still a couple games I want to add to my collection like the Dragon Age expansion, Uncharted 1 and 2, and a couple others..

                            Good topic! I usually gotta trade in games because this is such a damn expensive hobby. I will never get rid of:

                              I noticed a lot of posts listing All Pro Football...I never played it, but with so many guys saying they'd never trade it I might have to get me a copy!

                                Rock Band 2 is as close of a "sacred" game as I have, but even that's getting traded in once Rock Band 3 comes out.

                                Not really a guy who keeps games, to be honest. That said, I still have a buncha games for my Sega Genesis which won't be going anywhere anytime soon.
